So I am covered in dirt and fuel and I feel great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) My 914 started up today for the first time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Took a few times after priming it through the pump and than putting fuel into the throttle body but it runs. It does idle too high right now and that is the next problem I need to fix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I tried adjusting the idle control screw. That didn't seem to work. Oh well...I was just so excited to hear it actually start and run instead of conking out like it did the first like 10 or so tries. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I will be uploading a youtube vid of it and posting the link for everyone to see it.
